Lets try another perspective.

Crazy bitches have feelings, too. The whole “hold me tight” thing kind of implies that she is looking for more than some good clean uncomplicated NSA sex. From the tone of your post, it seems like you have no interest in having anything more than a purely sexual relationship with her. Dude, don’t lead her on. I know she’s a crazy bitch, but you should be the bigger man. It’s not right to lead anyone to believe that they are in a relationship when really it’s just about sex. Do the right thing and find someone who has the same relationship expectations that you do.

I think you could paper the OP’s walls with this post and he would only reply “Wha…?” as if he was reading 2007 Tax Code.

Good effort though.

Poor guy. Such self-inflicted suffering! Reminds me of the summer- long relationship I had with a sweet, cute, funny co-worker who was separated from his “beautiful” psycho bitch (a big titted black-rooted blond drunk with a red face and loud mouth). Not separated long enough, I guess. We had things in common; we worked together every day; we had chemistry, dammit! I thought it was going somewhere, hapless fool living in a dream world that I was. When the leaves started falling in September, he hemmed and hawwed and finally told me he was getting back together with his drunk, promiscuous, lying, cheating ex who moved back in with him over a weekend I was out of town. Why? Why??? I asked, foolishly. Even more foolishly, he just looked down and said, “well, she needs me, and …and…well, she’s just so pretty!” I was hurt and flabbergasted and all of that, but there was the comfort of knowing if he wanted to bail her out of her messes, and actually thought that the pig was “so pretty”, he deserved a life of living hell… Some people like that kind of thing. The drama (she got thrown out of her apartment for not paying the rent and they’re keeping all her stuff!), the excitement of spying on a lying cheating SO (I followed her from the club and she was parked outside a strange apartment until 4 a.m.), the great make-up sex (she swore she was drunk at the time and she loves me, and damn! she’s good! How could I say no?). Makes life with a boring cow (like me) a long, slow, boring slog to the graveyard, no drama! Have at it, then. … This situation is actually “why do women like bad boys and not nice guys?” in reverse. Why, indeed.

Yeah, that’s pretty much what I was going to say. You don’t owe someone who cheated on you anything at all, especially not consolation over having broke up with the dude she cheated on you with. Cut off the contact. If she tries this kind of thing again, don’t answer the door. Call the cops if she won’t leave. After all, just think about how pissed off you would have been about her showing up and making that kind of scene on your doorstep if you had a new, non-crazy chick over that you were trying to impress.

You need to tell this woman the same thing that I told my ex-wife when she asked me if we were still going to have sex after I told her I wanted a divorce: “Only if it’s anal.”

Plenty of good old-fashioned self-righteousness in this thread, from people who think they’re above it all, just as expected. No, not you, just half the other people who have posted to this thread. They know who they are.

Not self-righteous at all, just been there, done that, and had all the symptoms back in my 20’s: now in my 40’s I can look back with a wry grin and think “Yeah, I didn’t listen either”. He’ll come to his senses sooner or later: in the mean time he can enjoy the crazy sex and look forward keenly to family gatherings.

This is quite apropo since the OP has a _Mundane Pointless Stuff He Must Share_ with her. It even has a double entendre.

I figure it’s like a message in a bottle. Eventually it may reach it’s destination. We’ve all been in that situation, and it sucks.

**Monkey with a Gun** , good luck. You’re a good guy, you deserve better.
